Introduction
Solving the wiring complexity of a modern race car, the Racepak SmartWire is a fully programmable power
control module. While traditional wiring provides control of vehicle electronic components through the routing
of single, or multi-fuse, relay, and circuit breaker panels, the Racepak SmartWire functions as a central
“command center” for all vehicle wiring.
Based on Racepak’s exclusive single cable V-Net technology, the Racepak SmartWire unit is the electronic
“starting point”, with a direct main power connection from the vehicle battery to the SmartWire unit. Each
output is user defined, both in function, current requirement and current limit via a USB connection to the user’s
PC. The design of the SmartWire unit will reduce overall installation weight / clutter, while contributing to a
quicker reacting electronic system, through the solid state switching design.
Manual activation can be achieved through the 12 hardwired direct inputs on the SmartWire unit, or through the
use of the optional Racepak SwitchPanel or SwitchModule units. When utilized, a single small cable is routed
to the SwitchPanel/SmartModule from the Racepak SmartWire unit, reducing wiring clutter. Users needing
additional switch panel capabilities can easily expand through the use of an additional “jumper” cable to a
second Racepak SwitchPanel/SmartModule.
The Racepak V-Net compatibility of the SmartWire unit insures a seamless integration with existing Racepak
V-Net equipped vehicles. When connected with existing V-Net equipment, these items provide additional
inputs, control modules and instrumentation, compared to when utilized as a standalone power control module.
This manual will provided you step by step guidance through the installation, setup, and operation of the
SmartWire unit. During this process, the manual may refer to system worksheets and individual instruction
sheets originally provided with other Racepak sensor modules and devices.
To get the most out of the Racepak SmartWire unit, it is highly recommended to thoroughly read the
entire manual before installation and use of the Racepak SmartWire unit. In addition, test the
SmartWire unit and settings/functions before use. The race track is not the place to determine something
is not working properly!
